To shut down 5g base stations

Can network energy saving technologies mitigate 5G energy consumption?

This Technical Report explores how network energy saving technologies, such as carrier shutdown, channel shutdown, symbol shutdown etc., that have emerged since the 4G era, can be leveraged to mitigate 5G energy consumption.

Does Mappo reduce power consumption in 5G ultra-dense networks?

In this paper, we thoroughly study the base station control problem in 5G ultra-dense networks and propose an innovative MAPPO algorithm. The algorithm significantly reduces the overall power consumption of the system by optimizing inter-base station collaboration and interference management while guaranteeing user QoS.

What is 5G NR & how does it work?

The 5G new radio (NR) standard allows more components to switch off or go to sleep when the base station is in idle mode and requires far fewer transmissions of always-on signalling transmissions. Equipment deep sleep, a basic function that is introduced in the initial stage of the 5G deployment, can be applied to maximize energy saving efficiency.

Is a 5G energy saving solution enough?

It also analyses how enhanced technologies like deep sleep, symbol aggregation shutdown etc., have been developing in the 5G era. This report aims to detail these fundamentals. However, it is far away from being enough, a revolutionized energy saving solution should be taken into consideration.
